Hi all, I'm A-Moonless-Night, but you can call me Shannyn. The name 'A Moonless Night' comes from the title of a story my cousin and I wrote together when we were about fifteen. It was about two cousins getting lost in the woods on the night of a full moon. Werewolf shenanigans ensued. No idea where an actual moonless night factored into the equation though. Well, the name stuck and it has been my username for every website I've frequented for the last five or six years.

About me? Well, I'm from little old Godzone in the southern hemisphere. I live in a little house with my boyfriend and our crazy Pomeranian, Lola. I love reading and writing, with a particular love for Stephen King novels and poetry. I'm an avid proofreader—seriously, I love it. I foam at the mouth about it.

I can appreciate a wide range of music, but my favourite genre is metal. My favourite band is Bleeding Through, but I also love the Offspring, King Diamond, Slipknot, Meat Loaf, Jack Off Jill, Bring Me The Horizon, Backstreet Boys, Interpol, Atreyu, Pierce the Veil ... honestly, I could keep this list going forever. I have no musical talent, although I'm partial to belting out Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" during drunken karaoke.

I don't like MMORPGs or many first-person shooters. I particularly love platformers (especially Metroidvanias), RPGs, action games and point-and-click adventures. Some of my favourite games include Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap, the Tenchu series, Suikoden I and II, the Chzo Mythos (aka the John Defoe Quadrilogy), Minecraft, Age Of Empires, An Untitled Story and the Pokemon series.
